the beautiful finnished product!!!

Paula Deen says to use a buiscut cutter and since I ordered my first today, we thought a mason jar was fitting enough :)

Thats right y'all! A smith christmas is up and on its way! at our house the decorations are half the holiday and christmas is our specialty!

Just a little bit of the deco! and how fun can a christmas tree be unless its glittery anyways?

A true christmas miracle! It snowed a whole 1/2 inch on December 4th! mckenna went outside at 8 when we had finally got enough she scraped it all off our lawn and made a tiny snowman!!!

As a family tradition each girl gets a tree Macey-the biggest Paige-medium Mckenna- the smallest. these are our sassy trees! as girly as possible please!

Our tree in the beggining! hang on for the finished beauty!!!

All the grown-ups ( minus mama)at the new dining table.

This has been our most chill Thanksgiving EVER, we were all in jeans. We ate till we were full and laughed until we cryed :)

peeling 3 bags of potatoes can get seriously boring! finding this heart shaped potatoes was sweet. It reminded us of all we have to be thankful for!

With a fresh background and a new outlook on our blog we are upbeat and excited to update our freinds and family on what going on with us! enjoy! -MLS

The cake pretty much sums up the whole trip! awesome,different,once in a life time, and SWEET!
It is really amazing how much fun 20 rolly chairs can provide to a rehearsal dinner!

Sewing Ideas for my new Sister-in-Law

I bought the leotard and made the tutu

McKenna--Halloween Bride 2007

Princess Bride, Rita Skeeter and Luna Lovegood

Suzie Snowflake

The skirts were so light and airy--I put little glittery balls at the end of each point.

Revolutionary Maidens

The Ice Princess I used almost 20 yards of tuelle for her skirt--I felt very "say yes to the dress"

Here collar was layered with irridescent sheer and a stiff liner, then curled with a curling iron.
Halloween 2009


Christmas 2008

Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice!

McKenna turns 4 and wanted to be one of the 12 Dancing Princesses (its a Barbie thing).

Paige and her garden fairies.

I made flower petal filled skirts for all the girls and delivered them with the invitations. The older girls are their "fairy guides" that showed them all thru the forest and taught them the dances that make the flowers grow. So much fun! It was a magical way to turn 8!

sorry that we are like the worlds worst consistent people in the world! I knew it was pretty bad when MOM posted something on here. i am working on catching up on all the pictures and stories so stay tuned to see our lives for the past like 4 months!

Princess Pedi'sThe girls were over-the-moon for the chance to go to the spa and get all fancied up. What a perfect way to start Christmas Break!

CHRISTMAS MORNING

STYLE SISTERS!

The "Cool Crew" as they decked out for school this morning. They had delayed start (for snow that never came) and used their extra time to go over-the-top. They are so-darn-yummy to me!

Maceys dress was an idea I saw for a Chanel T-shirt. Macey spotted this T-dress and it was perfect. I googled an image of chanel and printed it on an iron-on-transfer. Cut around the bottle and label and ironed it on the shirt. Tied a bow and stitched on. I haven't found a project that was so much fun and so fast in a long time!...I'm still jumping and clapping!!

This is a picture that completely describes us! I expeect that it'll be our chrismas! WHat do you think???

THis is our fav. band Sweet Potatoe Pie! Featuring Missy Delgadoe (who played my favorite song Blue on Black. IT WAS AWESOOOME!!!!)

THis is a feature of moms amazing design for the party. It was awesome. We gaurged ourselfes on junkfood, Semi-scary movies (They included Eddie Murphey in them. How scary could they be???), and laughter!

This is Mckennas beautiful Halloween costume. It was a full efort from mama(She was up until 2:00 am working on it!!!!).

On this week of what to do with the missionaries:

We used power tools and pumpkins to create a seasonal joy for all! I must say that it was not a very pretty pumpkin but it was about as fun as vegitables come!( The elders wrote "read the book of mormon on it!)

I LOVE HORSES!!!! Thsi is Macey again! some of you might know that I have taken over the blog. Mom doesn't get into it so now i am! This afternoon My freind Nick so kindley invited me to his barn. I practiced barrles on his lovely horse Dancer ! Then Mama took 298 pictures of me at the barn! Here are some good ones. I think this one is my favorite one. I believe I kissed and hugged every part of that barn!!!

This is a picture that I plan to hang over my bed! exept in this one I'm going to make me and the horses a sillouette and then make the back ground aqua!

This is me Tackin up. I don't know why but I love leadingthe horse! I plan to post somethig abou tmy family soon! don't wory!!!

Today on our do nothing day I (Macey Lane) felt like baking! I spent the whole day covered in blue frosting, flour, and sweat! Who new a spatula could be leathal?

When I went to blog this picture I renamed it as "the blur." I think its a perfect simblism of Mckenna!

Mom loves her new painting class! The teacher likes her work. aperintly there shes the only one who doesn't paint cats in turbans!!! She is workin on crazy farm animals in fun colors(this is mid cow).

We are such rebels!!! We skipped todays 1/2 day!!! We are eating orange juleuses and blissfully chillin'!

Our recent trip to the beach! sooo fun! The perfect way to end summer( no really! it was on the last official day of summer!). We got sand, salt, and fun in every place possible!!! We broke 2 buggie boards, built a bridge of sand, Mck made a hot tub(wich wasn't hot. a very large dissapointment to her!) and rode waves till our sinusses were cleared for the next 3 months!!!

On this week of " What to do to the missionarys!?": We had a great pancake pouring! Everty one picked a person to model and with that we turned on the grittle!!! Elder Spratt was given Scooby Doo to sculpt were as Elder McDonald was given the task of Harry Potter! Dad: Abraham Lincoln. Mom: President Obama. Macey: Elvis. Paige: Marilyn Monroe. Mckenna: Santa. Ithink we all did rather well but they tasted better than they looked!!!
